About Gavin Main

Read full biographyClose biography

Promising fast bowler Gavin Main has long been seen as one of Scotland’s most exciting pace prospects, but a string of injuries has prevented him from fulfilling his true potential on the international stage. A product of Uddingston Cricket Club , the same as his Scotland teammate Calum MacLeod , Main’s raw talent caught the eye of Durham , who handed the teenager a surprise debut in 2014 against Nottinghamshire . The right-arm quick made an immediate impact, returning impressive figures of 3 for 37 , which included the prized wickets of Rikki Wessels and Stuart Broad . Main is known for his sharp pace and deadly yorker , making him a natural fit for limited-overs cricket. However, his career has been hampered by recurring injuries , restricting his appearances at both domestic and international levels. Since his debut, he featured in only two more First-Class matches for Durham — against Northamptonshire and Kent . Internationally, Main was part of Scotland’s squad for the 2016 World T20 qualifiers and also made his List A debut during the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship . Despite a stop-start international career, he remains a highly rated prospect and a potential match-winner when fully fit. With his natural pace and ability to bowl at the death, Gavin Main continues to be a player that Scotland will hope can stay fit and deliver on his early promise in the years to come.
